Labor Secretary ... the serious questions about whether or not he should be confirmed ... heritage Foundation policy analyst James shirk ... is here to explain ... James ... Democrats are touting Mr. pariahs as a strong defender of civil rights ... what do you know or what can you tell us though ... about his legal philosophy welcome James ... unfortunately this is a loss of a selective enforcement of the law ... and particularly he doesn't believe in the race neutral enforce the law ... that he is so quite often the indie many cases that the law should protect our people with dark skin color but the white should not be a project about this and wasn't it says quite a bore ... yet you know it's actually the opposite of what Martin Luther King Fahd for which was equal protection under the law ... aam in particular it looks like Senators my focus on illegal quid pro quo ... and we've outlined here and Wall Street Journal in editorials ... where he basically had a case with drawn from the Supreme Court that he simply didn't agree with ... is this usual James ... no it's not what happened was that was that this edition all ... the BLS that they've done it violated the Federal ... Housing standards and mis use federal funds intended to help ... low income families and instead just spent the money in the city budget ... and what he did this in our groove on investing in this case of the two hundred million dollars and families of the better part ... of a potentially recovered ... if you drop Kerviel housing ... discrimination lawsuit ... his concern that the Supreme Court will against the city at hand and legal doctrine he disagreed with ... so he just he walked away from a two hundred million dollar case C ... two hundred million dollars a case that wouldn't sit with I ... go on to us taxpayers ... um but this isn't just about when they knew that quid pro quo ... he's also gotten involved in the abortion debate how ... that's right his US over its vision for his arrest at the peaceful at people outside of abortion clinics or prank ... know what they are pro lifer for joy is this the first man a right to express your views ... and IP read what he studies the people who are peacefully crying outside of clinics ... or completely frivolous lawsuits against them ... and in many cases the judges taken one look at this case and say you have no evidence that proves ... immediately dismissed that's ... been awarded to attorneys' fees to the out there that people are out there right ... but it's it's ridiculous that he views the power of his office ... to bring full frivolous cases and around peaceful protesters James what about the voter ID cases ... that's even worse ... so Carolina passed a law protecting the voting rights it said that citizens by reform to show the photo ID ... prevent voter fraud ... though the corner stock in the summer exhibition said this is perfectly fine ... and recommended that the Grand Prix clearance ... instead he spent millions of dollars of taxpayer dollars ... would be getting the suit ... which again once the the the course and I said no there's no worse was commissioned issue here ... and lots of Carolina proposal off the taxpayers lost millions in the process so James us is going through this silly caught a legal philosophy of unequal application of belong ... the withdrawal of the Supreme Court case under dubious circumstances ... interference and I in ... of prayer in the public square ... I got back the movement against ... it though it voting voter ID to prevent fraud ... at you add that all up in yet Republicans in the Senate ... don't seem too worried about this guy a look sick he's Guinea get through this committee hearing tomorrow why ... well I think it said was a ... great question I mean this guy he said ... that he does not believe that the of the law was the only tall people the respect of their skin color ... piece of a rescue mission called inspector general ... that they paid attention to outbid the people's race ... and that the law simply to protect people if they were white ... well that's a horrible way to view was toppled in voting rights ... of law should not care what color skin color is ... so I guess Republicans that ... that that advice and consent of the Senate isn't taking this seriously these days as it might offend the past ... heritage Foundation policy analyst James sure ... thank you for the
